To describe the pattern of uveitis in patients seen at the uveitis clinic of the East Avenue Medical Center, Philippines.
Clinical records of patients seen from January 2010 to June 2015 were reviewed. Data collected included demographics, clinical presentation, associated systemic disease, work-up, and diagnosis.
A total of 595 records were reviewed. The mean age at presentation was 38 ± 18.4 years. The majority of the cases were unilateral and chronic. Anterior uveitis was the most common, followed by panuveitis, posterior uveitis, and intermediate uveitis. Uveitis was idiopathic in 54.1%, while specific diagnosis was found in 45.9%. Infectious cause of uveitis was found in 25.6% with tuberculosis (TB) being the most common followed by toxoplasmosis. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) was the most common cause of non-infectious uveitis followed by Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI).
In a tertiary hospital in the Philippines, the most common causes of uveitis were TB, VKH, toxoplasmosis, FHI, and sympathetic ophthalmia.
